Would this unit support the weight of a 12.5lb Drill press vise? I have the vise of my dreams, now i just need a cross axis table for it.

I have the x-y table in a lighter application, however I am sure it can carry a 12.5 pound load and work well if your vise fits well physically.

I'm afraid your vise is simply too large for this cross slide table. It is a micro table and is small. I use a 3' drill press vise that weighs about 4 lbs. and it is even a little big on it. I would advise you to find a larger table for a vise that's over 12 lbs.

Sure, and it has its own clamps for small work. Very wee built and stays accurate during drilling.

I don't believe there'd be any problem structurally but moving it might be a bit clumsy. The crank handle's moment arms are only ¾" or so off center so that heavy a load will require a lot of torque.

NO ya would wear the ways in no time. Once you wear the anodizing off the ways the table would be trash

Weight probably won't be the issue. But size could be. The table is small and the hand cranks are berry small.

Depending on the size of the part that is being held, It can be used as a light duty vise. Otherwise I do not believe it will work like a standard vise.

The Workmate can hold a couple hundred pounds so a vice is no problem. The issue is that the Workmate is portable so it is not secured or heavy enough to not move if you put forces on it other than straight down. Technically the Workmate has a vice built-in for holding wood and pipes and it works well. Unfortunately, B&D; decided to make the metal thinner on this new model so it is not as robust as my 10 year-old WM300. On the plus side, the WM425 has a larger work deck and has a more versatile vice function.

Heavy duty? It`s not a full size heavy duty, bolt to a garage bench vise. You won`t be able to beat on it with a large hammer. It`s just a friction screw mount, as you can see. I bought it to be a third hand. I mount things in it so I have my 2 hands free to work on something.

Unless you are talking a 500 pound monster I would say...easily. Most reloading equipment I am familiar with would easily be supported by this workbench. I put a metal lathe and drill press on mine and it didn't come close to stressing it. Most lever type reloading gear doesn't weigh very much in comparison.

That'd be a lot of weight for this table. It would probably hold 80#, but I'd look for something stronger, like a metal cart.

This should. I did a 12k unit. The bolt holes give flexibility for many different sized units and it should support the weight. It was pretty easy to install and comes with concrete anchors if you need them. I put mine into wood so I just got a few long Stainless wood screws.

I have not tested this myself, but the manufacturer's website reads that this table can support up to 1500lbs (680.38kg) if evenly distributed. Source: http://www.buylifetime.com/products/blt/pid-25011.aspx

I am pretty sure it will hold the weight but it will sag, you would need to have them up high and/or a large stick to prop the line up.

I would go for it. It is more than you need but will work Great. I should have bought it the first time instead of just the weight distrubutting setup.

Mounted on 4x4 posts for a table I made for my tablesaw It seems very stable to me. Hope this helps.

Is the built in vise strong enough to hold an AR15 upper and lower for assembly? I need at least 40-80 lbs of torque for the upper receiver barrel installation.

Not sure, I think It will not bolt in place. However if you are a creative person, you might find a solution. Remember. the key is to have the unit support your weight. Good luck.

It's rated for 500lbs so I don't see a problem for you but I do have some issues with the table. The foot pedal sticks out so far you have to be careful. I put a red bucks over pedal when not using it. Also table doesn't stay pumped over night even if there's no weight on it but probably be ok while your working on something. Maybe there's some adjustment that can be made. It's cold weather here and I haven't looked into it.

I have my set of cast iron (#4 - #12) set hanging from mine, which weighs about 40 lbs. With a few miscellaneous pieces on top. As long as you drill into studs and it's a sturdy setup you should be fine.

nice little vise!!! its on my welding table and I use it all the time instead of the big 8 inch vise.. drilled two holes and that was sufficent to hold it secure....well worth the money...mine is bolted to a 3/8 steel table top....

I had about 225 lbs on mine and had no problems. I can't guarantee you won't have problems but if you install it right the frame should hold that weight. If you really want to be sure then buy longer lag screws.
